Had an awesome call with Sahil. He gave a lot of useful, actionable advice that I'll be putting to work. He was generous with information and insights that only an experienced SaaS founder can provide. Thanks Sahil!

As a client and as a fellow member on the Executive Committee Board of the American Alumni Association, I have found him to be very pleasant to work with. His contributions are invaluable and he is a great team player. Sahil fulfills his responsibilities with the minimum amount of fuss and self aggrandizement.

I have known Sahil ever since he started Dimension Ventures. In my interactions with Sahil i have always found him to be dedicated and compassionate about his work. I was particularly impressed with his idea of Desk Away as it helps you with eliminating a lot of paper work and makes things a lot simpler in day to day routines.It is really a pleasure to work with an enterpreneur like Sahil as i believe he will have a lot more of innovative products like Desk Away.

Sahil approaches his work with a dedication and commitment. In my interaction with him he was able to sell me on the idea of using my role in sales/consulting to partner in the piloting of his new product DESKAWAY.

In my dealing with him he showed his expertise in project management to be of superior knowledge. His product design expertise was incorporated into the software toolset and led to a superior product design. I welcomed the product and would recommend it to others.

Sahil has done innovative work for the NGO that we worked together for. His input for our online presence, ecommerce and other online activities was invaluable. In my company, we continue to use his SaaS product DeskAway and find immense value in it. We use this product to coordinate our activities across various organizations and it works really well.

Sahil is very easy to work with and has super ideas when it comes to online / web work for organizations and people.

Sahil is a visionary in his own right. He has done a great job of conveying the strengths of the SaaS model to the Indian market. I was very impressed by his attention to detail, and well targeted focus on the most important issues.

Sahil is one of the most balanced young entrepreneurs I have worked with. He is a perfect combination of startup passion, clear thinking and panicfree approach to business. His dedication to quality of customer experience is almost fanatic and that's is the primary reason for Deskaway's success along with Sahil's a clear long-term vision. He is always open to learning, takes criticism in the right spirit and is very humble. I love working with Sahil.

Sahil belongs to that rare breed of entrepreneurs who are constantly trying to challenge themselves to know more, do better and innovate. My association with Sahil and DeskAway has been amazingly enriching!

He is extremely agile in his approach and dedicated to extreme detailing for the benefit of the end-user. Well grounded and focused, he is a good problem solver. Sahil’s greatest asset is that he is very organized in his thoughts. This helps him in approaching any business problem with a method and clarity. His quest for knowledge and “how can I better this” attitude is perhaps the secret sauce for DeskAway’s success.

I am looking forward to seeing him make it to the Fortune / Forbes cover page in the near future!

I can attest to Sahil's sound technical background because we both graduated from the same Computer Science department at UNC. I can also attest to his ability to apply his technical skills in order to come up with robust technical solutions because I had the opportunity to work with Sahil while working at CTI (www.clinicaltools.com) shortly after him and I graduated from undergrad around 2001. Furthermore, I can wholeheartedly bear witness to his visionary leadership as an entrepreneur as well as his business development skills because I have been a happy client and customer of DeskAway for almost a year now. DeskAway helps me organize my virtual office and helps me work with remote clients more effectively thus allowing me to do more with less....

He was instrumental in helping us craft a new service offering based around DeskAway. He was willing to go the extra mile in making sure the implementation went smoothly. The DeskAway service was invaluable in our ability to track and measure the multiple clients we have. Job well done and highly recommended.
